However, I think you can make an argument on the basis of principle.

This means that when the DST sells, the goal is to return 100% of principle.

Secondly, most of the homes I went to, the home owners were already moved out and no where in sight.

As I was looking for information on developing a mastermind group, I started reading (listening on audible really) to The Success Principles by Jack Canfield.

In other words, we don't typically sell properties sight-unseen.

I do the typical ROTH IRA investing as well as following many of Dave Ramsey's principles.

Don't get lost in the details...the principle holds regardless of how often you move on to the next property.

Even if you've been paying the minimum amount, you're at the point in your mortgage where more of the money goes to the principle vs interest than it did when you first got the loan.It also comes down to comfort level. 

Your analysis of the Oregon market is quite thorough, and similar principles apply here in Texas.

Currently probably not a good way due to the assumption that any existing loans have lower interest rate than you can currently receive, but here is the principle for when interest rates are lower again:You can approach so-called Portfolio-lenders.
